Revolutionary new probe zooms in on cancer cells improves tumour surgeries and extends survival times for brain cancer patients

Revolutionary new probe zooms in on cancer cells improves tumour surgeries and extends survival times for brain cancer patients

February 11, 2015

Brain cancer patients may live longer thanks to a new cancer-detection method developed by researchers at the Montreal Neurological Institute and Hospital – The Neuro, at McGill University and the MUHC, and Polytechnique Montréal. The collaborative team has created a powerful new intraoperative probe for detecting cancer cells. The hand-held Raman spectroscopy probe enables surgeons, for the first time, to accurately detect virtually all invasive brain cancer cells in real time during surgery. The probe is superior to existing technology and could set a new standard for successful brain cancer surgery.

Eight industry leaders partner with WULCA experts to develop a consensual method to assess water use in life cycle assessment

Eight industry leaders partner with WULCA experts to develop a consensual method to assess water use in life cycle assessment

April 28, 2014

Water use and freshwater depletion are key global issues. The United Nations Water Programme reports that water scarcity already affects almost every continent and over 40 percent of the people on Earth. Clear and consensual methods to quantify water footprints are needed to meet this global challenge. WULCA experts and eight industry leaders have therefore joined forces to develop a consistent approach to address the potential environmental impacts of water use throughout the life cycle of products and processes, taking into account resource extraction, processing, manufacturing, transportation, use and final disposal or treatment.
